UTC is a worldwide multi-national business. In 2006, it was in danger of collapsing due to the recession. To protect the company from buckling under, Mr. Chenevert made many improvements to protect them from losing profits. Instead of outsourcing their workers, they moved their production to the United States. Mr. Chenevert believed that cheap work yields poor products. United Technologies relocated workers and engineers in an integrated area and focused on problem-solving together. This method worked and the company survived.
